IMPORTANT!
• Actual file size depends on the type of image you
record. This means that the remaining image
capacity noted on the monitor screen may not be
exactly accurate (pages 30, 262).
• It takes longer to store a TIFF (uncompressed)
image than a JPEG (compressed) image.
• When you record a TIFF image, a JPEG format FINE
version of the same image is also stored. The FINE
version is the one that appears on the camera’s
monitor screen when you display the image in the
PLAY mode.
• A TIFF image cannot be resized (page 160), cropped
(page 161), or copied (page 204). All of these
operations must be performed on JPEG images.
• You cannot transfer a TIFF image to a computer using
the bundled Photo Loader application (page 241). Use
the procedure under “Viewing Images on a
Computer” (page 216) instead.
